Actually, the iPad will do that with no additional app. It is how I have mine set up now.

In Mail settings, add your Exchange information as normal and include syncing the Calendar (I also sync contacts too)
Then, select Other to add any compatible I-CAL formatted calendar, which includes Google. I sync 5 different calendars with no issues.

I actually prefer the Readdle calender app. So both my regular calendar and it are synced with Google calender. I prefer its larger text, event creation, etc. It just came out with an upgrade and has even more pros. However the enclosed calender app does work okay.

Except you can only attach to 1 exchange account per device. It will attempt to connect and go though, but there will be sync issues and ghost entries. I have tried this, and it got to where I could not tell what was what. It is more to the way Exchange works than it is with the iPad.

Adding other calendars as either ICAL or CalDAV is going to be the most stable.

You tried to set up both an Exchange account, and a GMail account? I mean, a GMail account using the default account options, not the alternate Exchange mail setup for Google?

Just want to be certain. I know the GMail account will sync calendars, and for mail it uses IMAP instead of exchange services. I don't know what it uses for calendars with that setup. Just that you can't sync contacts with that option.

Thanks all! I do have gmail and exchange (I think gmail is using exchange actually)...so I have that all working in the normal calendar app, I'm just not so happy with that app. I'm looking for a third party app that is better than the calendar app, AND will sync with exchange and google. Make sense. I don't think Readdle does that or does it?
